Take a Deeper Dive: Classes by Eric Francis

If you’re interested in learning more about astrology (or possibly other topics), look no further. Eric’s classes are engaging, fun and immensely informative: each session is packed with original content that will enhance your knowledge, regardless of whether you are a beginner or more advanced.

“I am a Planet Waves Backstage Pass member and have been in four of Eric’s classes so far — Tarot, the Houses, Karma, and Eroticism. The open and accepting group space Eric creates welcomes participation. I tried out ideas. Took chances. Laughed out loud. Listening to how Eric works with others, gently, with an open heart, was as instructive as any of the content covered. But the content was potent too. As a result I did my first public tarot readings. I’ve made more sense of my love life, and become a better friend to my 12th house.

“You start out thinking that four hours for a tele-class is a long time but it flies by. The audio-only format is incredibly intimate. Your hear from people you might otherwise never meet, who all have something to offer. And when I refer to my class notes from time to time I can hear it all in my mind again, so the experience has a long after-life. Thanks to Eric and to Planet Waves for these opportunities to take a deeper dive into the esoteric arts.” — Cheryl Corson

If Your Birthday is July 6
(The Day of Magnetic Desire) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You will have many exciting financial opportunities this year, though you must respect your own talent. At the same time, you would be well-advised to shift any initial discussion away from money and keep the focus on your mission and purpose, and how you may serve others. Money is not the only measure of value, and it’s certainly not the first.

Written in the Planets
Today Vesta draws up conjunct the North Node. This aspect will still be in place during the forthcoming July 9 Full Moon, and is most likely a clear signal to line up with your most important and cherished goals and head straight down the middle of the path. It’s clear that as a species we need to grow up fast. You can begin that process as an individual, by resolving to focus on the work you were born to do and to keep the more enervating distractions to a minimum. The first step is understanding who you truly want to be.

If Your Birthday is July 5
(The Day of the Showman) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Keep your interests local. It’s fine having far-flung pen pals, but you want your friends and love interests near you. That means an easy walk or drive, with frequent in-person meetings possible. Do business and spend your money locally as well, for maximum value, mutual benefit and prosperity. Keep your world small and simple, and you’ll be happier.

Written in the Planets
It’s a busy day, astrologically speaking. Overnight into this morning, Venus entered Gemini. Then late tonight into Thursday, Mercury enters Leo. On one level, this is an image of very social astrology. Additional aspects suggest you do your best to roll with unexpected events. In fact, if you have a bold new idea or an urge to do things differently, you may feel happiest if you give yourself the freedom to pursue it. Use your imagination to see the possibilities, and stay sensitive to the needs of others. That will likely serve the greater good better than if you get caught up in ambition, exaggeration or anything less than truthfulness to pursue your agenda.

This Week’s Horoscope for Cancer by Eric Francis Coppolino

Mysterious forces are at work in your world. You probably feel this, but have not given it a name yet. The effect may take several different forms, though behind them all is one process. It will be essential for you to navigate carefully, and take precautions to minimize the chance of mistakes. You’ll very likely begin this week in one phase of your life, and by Sunday, be in another phase. Between now and then, you’ll need to endure some tension, and not let it color your judgment. This will be crucial in the days late in the week leading up to the July 9 Full Moon in your opposite sign Capricorn. Take things one step at a time, and make your choices with the help of one or two trusted advisors. Do not broadcast your business. Be curious, and ask questions with the attitude of a child. Gently, the truth will unravel.

If Your Birthday is July 4
(The Day of the Group Representative) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You must look to the future of your relationships, not backwards at the past. The temptation will always be there, though by now you know that the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Your life is about beginnings, and if you want some of those, draw any incomplete endings to a sincere close, and welcome new experiences and new people into your life.

Written in the Planets
So often people think of ‘surrender’ as being synonymous with ‘giving up’ or ‘defeat’. Yet surrendering to love is the act that lets you receive love (and share it). Similarly, surrendering to serving some higher cause — or to the soul’s calling — is generally what allows a person to do their most fulfilling work. If you think about it, this is really quite a subversive concept in our ultra-competitive Western capitalist society. Vesta, which is approaching a conjunction to the lunar North Node in Leo, makes a trine to Eris in Aries today. How might serving love be a subversive act in your life?

Celebrating ‘Independence’, Pluto-Style

Although this week begins with a major holiday in the U.S., the real fireworks — astrologically speaking — won’t show up until the end of the week: the Capricorn Full Moon on Sunday, July 9. Eric has written your weekly horoscopes specifically about this event; on our way there, the sky will be busy.

375+july5_spintoyFull_july2012DSCF6213

First, a quick note about the July 4 astrology for U.S. readers. The main thing to keep in mind is that Mercury in Cancer will be square Uranus in Aries. Given that Independence Day tends to involve activities like driving, boating, drinking and fireworks — often in crowded situations — Mercury-Uranus emphasizes the need to stay grounded and focused, while also staying flexible enough to respond to surprises and sudden changes of thoughts or plans.

We also have two ‘personal’ planets changing sign this week. Venus moves into Gemini later on Tuesday; and Mercury enters Leo Wednesday night into Thursday. See if you notice a shift in your mental and emotional tone, especially in social situations.

That said, the real driver of interpersonal relations looks to be this building Full Moon in one week. It’s quite a chart: the Cancer Sun opposite the Moon in Capricorn, exactly one degree away from Pluto — the god of change and power. Mars in Cancer is in the picture (it’s separating from the Sun and Pluto, but the Moon will be applying to Mars). And all four of those bodies are within range to pick up on Uranus and Eris in Aries, via square aspect.

If Your Birthday is July 3
(The Day of the Commemorator) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Get your momentum going on the erotic front, and you’ll keep it going throughout the year. Your birthday chart talks about the kinds of pleasures that you experience in the moment, without the need for attachment. Yet those experiences will build bonds of union based on empathy and caring, which can lead to productive and nourishing relationships.

Written in the Planets
Today would seem to be an excellent day for practicing a little kindness, including to yourself. The ongoing tense situation in the sky may be slightly less, with Venus making a welcome sextile to Chiron, among other aspects. It could well be worth using this period of relative calm to analyze, process and heal; particularly if you’ve felt certain buttons being pressed. You’ll want to understand what’s up and why.

“For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche. In their highest boughs the world rustles, their roots rest in infinity; but they do not lose themselves there, they struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfil themselves according to their own laws, to build up their own form, to represent themselves. Nothing is holier, nothing is more exemplary than a beautiful, strong tree.”
— Herman Hesse

If Your Birthday is July 2
(The Day of the Disconnected Unconscious) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Your mental and emotional balance are the key to your professional success. That means staying grounded, eating and sleeping at home as much as possible, and giving yourself plenty of time to evaluate the important situations in your life. There are times when you’ll be playing a fast game, which you must think through in advance, slowly.

Written in the Planets
Mars opposing Pluto, among other tense aspects today, means emotions could very well run high. Pressure that’s been building up may be released, perhaps suddenly. Do your utmost to keep your cool; take time to pause before making any kind of public statement or action, remembering that words and deeds once expressed cannot be recalled. Take responsibility for the influence you possess in your personal and professional life; stand firm in your integrity; and try to bring empathy and mercy into every decision.

Archive Horoscope for Capricorn from July 2010 by Eric Francis

You may feel like you’re being pushed beyond your limits, but they’re precisely the limits you don’t want. You may be coming up to the age-old question: am I changing, is my partner changing, or is a relationship changing? The answer is all three. You may wonder whether you’re willing to take on all the responsibility (and for some, authority) that is being handed to you, and the answer is: why would you be getting it if you were not ready? Has there ever been a time in your life when you felt more confident and safer on the planet? If so, I suggest you look closely at what was influencing you, though I’m inclined to think that this moment is the time when you’re working with the most solid foundation you’ve ever had. The reason is because you finally feel safe embracing change. You know that security comes not from false confidence in who you are, but rather from embracing a measure of uncertainty and appreciating the value of mystery. You’ve probably figured out that the things most people think make them safe don’t actually do so, and that most attempts at being certain of who one is involve clinging to what their parents taught them. You seem more determined than ever to break free from these false notions of security, and the best step you can take now is to encourage the people around you to do the same. This will be the true test of your confidence.

If Your Birthday is July 1
(The Day of Emancipation) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Making improvements to your home has been on your mind all year, but you really must set about this. Make the biggest investment you can make, of time, of creativity and of energy, and whatever you can budget. Fix one big, important thing, if you can — such as the bed — and keep going from there. This will serve your prosperity and happiness.

Written in the Planets
If the extreme polarization of society is feeling hopeless, don’t give in. The idea that everything is “either/or,” “us or them” is an illusion, a lie. You know this, even if the truth of humanity’s unity feels like it only exists in a galaxy far, far away. Today Neptune in Pisces squares the Great Attractor, a deep-space phenomenon in Sagittarius. While it would be delusional to think that everyone’s on the cusp of collectively recognizing universal oneness, don’t underestimate the potential for our current time to spur many people — including you — toward a greater truth.

“If I should try to describe the reasons why a man becomes a revolutionary I would be neither eloquent nor restrained enough. I admit that I have too much admiration for those who fight evil, whether their choice of ends and means be right or wrong. I draw the line, however, at those intellectuals who adapt themselves, although the fact that they are adapted and not genuine revolutionaries in no way diminishes their newly acquired zeal and enthusiasm.”
— Czelsaw Milosz (The Captive Mind), Nobel Prize Laureate


Empathy, Honesty and Power Struggles

Dear Friend and Reader:

As you head into the weekend (for many U.S. readers, a long holiday), you’ll want to know that the astrology has some things to say about power struggles and confrontations. Mercury and Mars, both in Cancer, are opposing Pluto in Capricorn. At their best, this pair of oppositions can be leveraged to get beneath the surface of things.

Photo by Amanda Painter.

Mercury opposite Pluto, exact at 8:36 pm EDT tonight (00:36 UTC Friday), is especially good for deep research into a topic or uncovering a secret. With the sign Cancer involved, this could easily mean getting to the underlying emotions that are driving an interpersonal situation or reaction.

In its most productive expression, Mars opposite Pluto (exact July 2 at 8:02 am EDT / 12:02 UTC) can be used to make positive, creative changes in your life.

Again, with Cancer involved, that might mean giving yourself an ‘attitude adjustment’ if your emotional reactivity has been swinging to extremes. What’s really bothering you?
Or it could relate to overdue updates to your actual home environment, just as one example. The main idea is to use the energy constructively and consciously in some way, so that it does not end up using you.

If Your Birthday is June 30
(The Day of Motivation) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Most people spend the bulk of their time out of the house. Go against that trend. Spend time at home, and invest energy into improving it. Keep your space clean, organized, and ready for friends to come over. This will provide a focus for your existence, help you ground your unusually busy professional life, and feed your success.

Written in the Planets
With today’s first quarter Moon, you may find some natural leverage for building momentum with a project. Having the Moon in Libra means the aesthetics or fairness of that project could be a focal point. That said, Mars in Cancer is moving into its opposition with Pluto in Capricorn (exact July 2). Notice where and with whom a question of power or dominance is beginning to feel like an issue, especially if you’re feeling emotionally provoked. If you can keep bullying and manipulation off the table and focus on what’s ethically within your control, chances are you’ll make better progress.

If Your Birthday is June 29
(The Day of Airborne Dreamers) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You have the perfect blend of intellect and imagination; of attention to detail and love of what you do. The heavens are sending a message that you’re serving the greatest good for all concerned. You’re one of the people leading the way with the idea that we must all work together for the common good, and you have plenty to offer.

Written in the Planets
Mercury’s opposition to Pluto today may serve as a reminder that there are different forms of strength. Getting through a situation is often as much about adapting as it is about powering through; the complexity of modern life arguably makes a certain sophistication all the more necessary. Don’t rush into anything headlong; rather, be cautious and weigh up your options before deciding a path forward.
